VariationImages Response Group

The VariationImages response group displays different image variations of the same item in four sizes: swatch, small, medium, and large, where the swatch image is smaller than the small image. VariationImages is used when there are variations of an item for sale. For example, a shirt for sale might come in four colors. If VariationImages is used as the response group, the shirt will be displayed in sixteen images: four image sizes of each of the four colors.

Parent ASINs do not always have images associated with them; their children, however, should.
